Faithful Friends: Dogs in life and literature

The diversity of human observations about all things canine stretches far back into antiquity. This collection of things written and said about dogs, their activities, attributes and relations with man covers more than 400 different writers and is arranged in chapters by subject and theme. There are dogs as described by writers from Aristophanes to Ogden Nash, Bernard Levin and Miles Kington, but equally there is lore on breeding, training and characteristics of dogs over two millennia, including contributions from Pliny, King Canute, George Sand, Scott of the Antarctic, Sir Thomas Malory, Kipling, Maeterlinck, Martin Luther and Richard M. Nixon.
